Tips to Purchase Fireplace Screens

5 Tips For Purchasing Fireplace Screens

1. Start with size. Make sure you measure your hearth and find out exactly what size ranges your fireplace can accommodate. Note that folding and curved screens differ in size accommodations.

2. Form and function. There are many different styles of fireplace screens and guards. When shopping, find one that best fits the design of your hearth and your needs as a hearth owner. Folding screens present a different function and look compared to one-piece curved screens. We offer folding units from three to four panel designs. Spark guards provide full coverage to your hearth and offer protection from wayward sparks.

3. Design and style. With so many styles and designs of fireplace screens and spark guards, it may be difficult to choose what is right for you. Our suggestion is to take time to consider the design of your hearth and the style of your room. Browse our site to find the right finish and design that best suits your style.

4. Think safe. Whenever choosing accessories for your hearth, keep safety in mind. Make sure the screen you choose is the right size for your fireplace. Panel screens, if not the right size and opened too wide, may become unstable and fall. To avoid burns, make sure precautions are taken when moving screens from in front of a hot fire. Old or damaged screens should be replaced immediately.

5. Sit back and enjoy. A fireplace screen is a multi-functional hearth accessory that provides protection from the open flame as well as a decorative look to your fireplace. With all the styles and designs of screens available, there is definitely a fireplace screen that will fit your individual preference. Quality screens add an extra touch to the beauty and warmth of your hearth. Balance price, design, style and size, then sit back and relax in front of your crackling fire.
